This morning, Jim Rubens, candidate for U.S. Senate, issued the following statement on the death of James Foley, a journalist from Rochester:

"Susan and I are deeply saddened to hear of the death of New Hampshire journalist James Foley at the hands of the militant group ISIS. As parents, we cannot even begin to fathom the pain that Mr. Foley's parents are experiencing and we offer our sincere condolences. I also extend my gratitude for the bravery that many journalists exhibit in documenting the world's events in places where many would not dare venture."
